PAVING-TOOL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 288,825, dated November20, 1883.

Application filed March 20, 1883. (No model.) 7

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, PHILIP S. MALoNEY, of the city and county ofPhiladelphia, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented an Improvement inPaving-Tools, set forth in the following specification.

My invention has reference to street-paw iors adapted to hammerstreet-stones into solid positions; and it consists in certainimprovements in the construction of the same, as fully set forth in thefollowing specification, and shown in the accompanying drawings, whichform part thereof.

In the drawings, Figure l is an elevation of my improved paviors. Fig. 2is a vertical section of same. Fig. 3 is a plan view, looking up fromthe bottom; and Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the clamping andretaining band.

A is the cylindrical wooden body, terminating at the top in a handle, B.About half way down the body is provided with one or more holes, D, intowhich the horizontal handle O is secured. By having more than one ofsaid holes the said handle may be adjusted to suit men of variousheight. The lower end, A, of the bodyis turned down to form ashoulder,e, and the clamping-band E of iron or steel is placed thereon. This bandE is made conical on its outside to increase its strength at the bottomand give more strikingsurface,

and is provided with a light flange or lugs, F,

are driven into the bottom of the body and close to the band E. Then asecond row of similar metal pieces are driven into place, and finallythe whole of them are made tight and firm by means of a central wedge orcone, G. 5 This metal filling I G may be made in various ways; but Iprefer that shown.

I do not limit myself to the exact construction shown, as it may bemodified in various ways without departing from my invention.

I am aware of Patent No. 162,384, to Hitchcock, and claim nothingtherein shown or described, the' device therein shown differing frommine, in that there are no loose wedgefitting pieces I G, which areforced within the band E, tending to expand it, and he has no extensionsF on his band to hold it in place on the body.

Having now described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is 1. The'body A, provided with handles, incombination with retaining-band E, having extensions F, rivets f, andmetal filling, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

2. The body A, provided with handles 13 and C, band E, having extensionsF, rivets f, l and conical or tapering filling-pieces I G, substantiallyas shown and described.

3. The cylindrical wooden body A, having handles 13 and C, band E, madeconical on the outside and extending below the body, and havingextensions F, rivets f, and filling-pieces I G, the said band andextensions being set into the body to bring their outer surfaces flushtherewith, substantially as shown.

In testimony of which invention I hereunto set my hand.

PHILIP S. MALONEY.
